Knight to Frank

[McGrowlTowelZac]

Martin started to tell Knight, whose hand he was shaking for the first time, how much he’d always respected him. Knight, the longtime coach and now an ESPN announcer, cut him off.

“To hell with that,” he said. “We need to get you to run a better offense.”

Knight can share a bag of dicks with gomizzou.

Someone put that man in a nursing home.

[McGrowlTowelZac]

Knight was still talking. He was telling Martin how his offense wasn’t run smoothly enough, how his guys weren’t using the right angles, how that very well could have cost Martin this win.

“I’d be glad to help if you call me tomorrow,” Knight said.

“I’ll call you in the morning,” Martin said.

“This almost cost you the game,” Knight went on. He lowered his voice: “…he makes bad offensive decisions,” he growled.

Was this after he told Frank how good the pheasant hunting was with ol’ Timmy?

Best post game write up yet.

Last night was nice and euphoric. Today is kind of bizarre.

definitely started his sentence with "Clemente" here.

I'm guessing Knight is at the bottom of Tuttle right now.

[Wildcat Jack]

Knight may be an uncouth @ss, but he does know how to run an offense and if you're Frank Martin you listen.  Face it, not everybody has all the answers and the minute you think you do then you're sure to be facing a downward slide.  I'm glad Knight cares enough to want to contribute his massive ego....and even more glad Martin doesn't have such a massive ego that he won't make the call.

People are hungering for this story to have a great ending

How unprofessional.  Knight needs to STFU.  What an ego.  I hope Frank doesn't call him back and feed his ego any more than it is.

Yeah, Frank shouldn't take advice from a guy who has won 900 plus games. jfc

Guys, when are we going to start the "good job" or "well done" chant that Knight insisted?

That coming from the Bob Knight, he must have been on anti-depressants or something...

With a comfortable lead? with 2:00 min left.

or

whenever it is absolutely apparent we have the game in hand.

Bullsh*t.  Knight never had an offense more efficient than Martin's this year in his last 4 seasons.  Just because it doesn't look the way Bobby Knight and Gene Hackman think it should look, doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Been watching the replay.  Knight is horrible.  He f*cking groans and crys every time he doesn't agree with how a team is playing.

[kougar24]

Guys, sorry, but style points matter. I've promised our friends to the east that we will strive to do great offensive things like backdoors, sweet high-low action, and relentless inside-out ball movement, even at the cost of losing. For the good of the game, people.

[Pett]

Huggy should've went up to Bob after the twenty point win during the Phillips 66 tournament back in 06-07 season and told him to work on his offensive game plan.

i like the idea of a "thanks for trying, clap clap clapclapclap" chant at the end of a game. pretty facetious stuff. i bet it'd burn real bad.

THIS

KSU was running set plays and starting them with about 15 seconds on the shot clock.  We were eating clock and Knight took it as standing around. He was mad we weren't running motion offense.

knight will never understand the beauty of pounding it inside, drawing fouls, and getting putbacks.  if its not a wide open 15 ft jumpshot after 6 passes, its not basketball to him.  game passed him by 25 yrs ago.
